I've been on here a while now and I've had a few Corsa's but not really been that bothered with doing a project thread before. I thought I'd give it a go this time with my new Corsa. It's an R reg Polar Sea Blue 1.6 Sport. I bought it standard a few weeks ago with 53k on the clock, one lady owner from new and in quite good condition.
Plans are:
Give it a good service
Lower 60mm on shocks and springs
Nice subtle exhaust
Some nice new shoes for it
My twin halo angel eye headlights from my old Sport
Badgeless grill
Smoked side repeaters
Give the body work a good tidy up with hopefully some added extras
Heres a few pics from when I picked it up.
I hope you all enjoy reading about it .

Abit of an Update:
Bought Some lowering springs off a mate along with some Spax psx rear shocks, Powerflex Polybushed front anti-roll bar and Polybushed arms. He didn't have any uprated front shocks so I will have to get some later, but it will do for now.
I also went with a mate to our local U-Pull-It and got a Tigra scuttle panel and Punto rear wiper.
I fitted all but the front anti-roll bar and arms (will do these when I sort the front shocks) and I think it looks loads better already. Anyway heres some pics I took after I gave it a quick wash.
Took a pic of under the bonnet aswel. Think its in need of a good clean and tidy up, so will do this when the weather gets better.
Thanks for looking .

Update time:
My Badgeless grill and Smoked side repeaters arrived yesterday, so I got those fitted straight away. I also fitted my Angel Eye Headlights from my old Corsa Sport and I think the front end looks nice now, but will more than likely change to Morrette's in the future.
My Girlfriends Brother fabricated me a backbox to fit the car, a nice a subtle oval tip (Originally from a 306 Gti-6). Looks loads better with it on and it sounds awesome.
I've also sorted the front suspension out with some Pi front shocks and springs (Havn't got any pics of them as yet). The car feels loads better now and it's bye bye bouncey front end lol.
Heres some pics I took earlier today with a few mates:
All comments welcome.

Made abit of progress with this. Blasted the wheels I've got to go on at work and they should be going for paint next week(ish). Still not sure on the colour I should do them. White or Vauxhall Graphite Grey? Opinions?
All I am sure of is it going to be an expensive end to the month .
